Medha’s Electronic Interlocking System MEI 634 is a cutting-edge, fail-safe Distributed Interlocking System designed to meet the highest safety standards (SIL-4) in compliance with CENELEC requirements. The system features a two-out-of-two architecture with hot standby and automatic change-over, ensuring reliable and seamless operations.
MEI 634 provides a comprehensive suite of interlocking functions, such as Route Setting, Route Release, Point Operation, Track Occupancy Monitoring, Overlap Protection, Crank Handle Operation, Level Crossing Gate Interlocking, and provision for Block Working. The MEI 634 is a versatile, modular interlocking system capable of managing between 64 and 2,200 vital inputs/outputs. It can be deployed as wayside equipment in the yard or installed in the Station Equipment Room for larger applications.
Key System Components
Central Interlocking Unit (CIU)
- Utilizes a two-out-of-two architecture with dual independent channels processing vital interlocking logic.
- Features a supervisory processor to monitor both vital computing channels.
- Offers hot standby with automatic change-over, ensuring uninterrupted functionality.
- Includes redundant communication channels to the Object Controller (OC) and Panel Processor (PP), with an OFC ring configuration for robust connectivity.
Object Controllers (OC)
- Controls field equipment using fail-safe signalling relays.
- Supports up to 32 OC units, with each unit handling 24 vital outputs and 40 vital inputs.
- Equipped with dual communication modules for redundancy.
- Features 8 Wayside Function Modules (WFMs) per OC, each capable of managing 8 vital inputs or outputs using two-out-of-two architecture for high reliability.
Panel Processor (PP)
- Interfaces between the Operator’s Panel and the CIU, providing a seamless user experience.
- Includes a Windows-based, user-friendly Application Data Generation tool suite with extensive automation for creating yard-specific application data.
